Tested: 5/13/14

Servings:   9-6    Prep Time: 15-20 min

Notes:  I like to bake banana bread in our glass pyrex 8x8 pan because it's easier to store.

Ingredients: 1 tbsp ground flax 3 tbsp water 1 1/2 cups almond meal 1 cup brown rice flour 1/4 cup date sugar  1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp salt 5 really ripe bananas 1 tsp vanilla 2 tbsp coconut oil 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions: 1. Mix flax and water in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. 2. In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, breaking up any lumps. 3. Add the bananas, vanilla, and coconut oil to the flax/water mixture. Break up the bananas with the back of a fork and mix well. 4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix in walnuts if using. 5. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until the surface is slightly firm to touch and tester comes out clean.
